If a new organsiation came into being, who would you want in it, and who would you not want in it?

I think I should be somewhere near the top, but maybe I'm a tad biased. :wink:

I'm at a loss to think of a chair of the ranks committee.

Any ideas? :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

I doubt there is a need for a new organisation but there is always someone with a few axes to grind who thinks there is !

Is the record of the current crop of organisations that good that there isn't room for improvement?

The problem is that such groups lose focus on who they are trying to do stuff for and become embroiled in their own interests.

Ultimatley the driver should be king ........................... and until vehicles can move all by themselves that is where the real power lies.

Changes are again planned for us here in Gateshead .............. where the driver is rightly placed as our only consideration.

Exactly, and that's why what we have got at present is simply not up to the job.

This trade is full of folks that have failed in their original industries, and then claim they have the magic pill to sort it, some even say that lawyers will not only work for them for free, but those lawyers will pay them. Image

And people within this trade actually believe them. ](*,)

So really we get what we deserve. :sad:

But there is an answer and that's to boot out the sh** that fleece us, boot out the idiots that pretend to know what's best for us, boot out the scum that are only in this trade for back-handers, boot out the dead-wood that are still living in a glorious past that never was, and then those of us left might just have a chance.

But FFS don't hold your breath. :?
